Before, it was a niche crowd, people who liked video games as a whole, but at the time when they were still largely created in Japan it was pretty much anything goes, made by the Japanese and their sensibilities. 'Recently there are lines, I guess more than in the past. 'A more serious answer to that question, though,' Harada said.

After chatting about Tekken's rich history of outlandish storylines, one of the journalists present said jokingly that perhaps there wasn't a line the series wouldn't cross when it came to robots with chainsaw arms and boxing kangaroos. The subject of censorship came up one other time during our meeting.

And so, as such, as long as it passes those kind of censorship or whatever for that country, as judged by their government or an official organisation and not some random guy on the internet, then obviously we want to release the content so as many people can enjoy it as possible.' So people who actually look into the game content have seen it and it is fine. 'But Tekken has cleared those and been released. 'Well, I guess people forget that the game goes through very strict ratings in various countries, and the level of severity kind of changes depending on the country,' Harada replied. Part of the internet, I guess you could say!'īut, in terms of swimsuits and things like that, it wouldn't stop Tekken releasing that content as DLC in the West? Without knowing that, to so easily make criticisms, is maybe a dangerous direction. 'But it's a very important part of Japanese culture. But to someone who doesn't know Sumo, they might just say, 'There's a guy in his underwear, that's inappropriate.' 'One thing that's perhaps scary about some of these ill-informed criticisms,' continued Harada, 'is there's a character called Ganryu, perhaps you know him, he's a Sumo wrestler. 'It does affect how we announce new content,' added senior game designer Michael Murray, 'because we have to think, when we release this, we're not there to explain this, so people can take it as it is, or how they interpret it.'

So, that is pretty frustrating.' Harada says people shouldn't judge characters on their costumes before knowing their full context. But they don't go and look for that info before they criticise. It's not like we're trying to sexualise the female characters at all. Robots have them, Kuma, Panda, the male characters have swimwear. 'But, what they don't know is that it started off in the arcade and it's a season line, like you do for Christmas, Halloween or whatever. 'A lot of times - the swimsuits was a good example - people who don't even play the game, they maybe just hear that there are swimsuits in it and then they say, 'Woah, you have these girls in sexy swimwear, what's wrong with you? You're such male chauvinists etc.' The problem is that people who are Tekken fans, they say something about the game that's critical and it's not that bad because they know the content of it. 'But I guess one of the things that's most frustrating is just that a lot of these criticisms are very ill-informed. 'It is more difficult creating the game for a mass market,' he replied. I'm a big fan of Harada and Tekken in general, and have been for many years, so I asked him, does he feel genuinely constrained about what he can and can't do because of Western sensibilities? Does it really bother him? I'll delete that.- Katsuhiro Harada JTo see this content please enable targeting cookies.
